As She Left It by Catriona McPherson

Untangling the shame and sorrow on Mote Street

At the age of twelve, Opal Jones escaped her mother's endless drinking and her life in Leeds, England. Returning to the small cottage on Mote Street after her mum's death is like going back in time. Nosey Mrs. Pickess is still polishing her windows to a sparkle (the better to spy) and Fishbo, Opal's ancient music teacher, is still playing trumpet. Then, Opal learns about a tragedy the neighborhood has never recovered from: the disappearance of three-year-old Craig Southgate. The sweet, red-haired child Opal once knew was kidnapped -- and never seen again.

At first, unraveling the decade-old mystery is a fine distraction from Opal's own ugly past. But teasing out her neighbors' dark secrets begins dredging up uncomfortable memories of her own childhood - and a growing suspicion about little Craig's fate.

    Nope, at least not when it's just me and my husband. We sleep in. But if I have my grandchildren, we have no choice, we're up sucking coffee in the wee hours of the morning and "wishing" we were sleeping in LOL

    No, I don't really watch Saturday morning cartoons. I never really did, actually. I was more into the after-school set of cartoons.

Some of these cartons that are on nowadays are weird and some I don't think I want my son to watch!! Its crazy! I won't name them but I'm sure some of you probably can name a few of them.:) lol Thank you so much for a chance to win and for being a part of this fun and awesome blog hop!!

    No . . . I'd love to be able to watch cartoons, but my family had the cable taken out a while back. Instead, I use that time to either blog, sleep, or read!

    No, but now I'm tempted. Cartoons and a big bowl of cereal sound like a great nostalgic way to start my Saturday. Off to see what's available on netflix!

    Gosh no. When I'm awake I watch VH1 top 20 countdown.

  45. StacyApril 5, 2013 at 7:37 PM

    No, there are no good cartoons on anymore! Although I did just notice today that Netflix now has a bunch of Cartoon Network shows available. My favorite Saturday morning cartoons were in the 80's, but there were some decent CN ones in the last decade or so.
